Embedded database adds in-memory replication

New functionality provides the ability for RAM or persistent data to be replicated to any storage media locally or over a network.

Birdstep Technology has released a new version of its Raima Database Manager Embedded, also known as RDM Embedded.

This latest release from the Raima Database Management Family provides exciting new capabilities and functionality for embedded systems application developers.

RDM Embedded 8.1 includes in-memory replication to provide a new level of high availability and performance.

This new functionality provides the ability for RAM or persistent data to be replicated to any storage media locally or over a network.

The replication engine is designed to support single master multi slave environments, where any slave can act as a master to a new set of slaves, implementing a hierarchy of replicated database instances.

The native 64bit data type is compliant with the C99 standard data types, and so application designers can manage their 64 bit integers natively through the RDM Embedded database definition language, and APIs.

Adding to the already comprehensive administrative API, additional utility functions have been added to the API allowing developers to programmatically perform administrative tasks that were traditionally done by stand-alone tools.

The result being the ability to develop self-administrating applications based on a truly zero administration database engine.

Static library support provides the ability to build both dynamic and static libraries expanding the opportunity to develop applications for deployment on RTOS platforms that do not currently support shared objects.

Additionally, the use of static libraries reduces the amount of deployment code which is important for applications deployed in high volumes.

Full Unicode support is provided on Unix platforms, offering application developers the ability to create truly language independent applications on Unix platforms.
